Creativity and Government
From New Labour's 'thinking the unthinkable' to Cameron's 'blue-sky thinking', successive UK governments have sought to apply 'creative thinking' to policy. Should the global financial crisis take us back to basics, or encourage us to 'think outside the box'? And what happens when governments apply 'creative thinking' to the public sector? Clickhere to see Chris Bilton talking about creativity and government policy - and tell us what you think.

This is very interesting.
The main point I have taken from your short talk is that creativity doesn’t always have to equal novelty, but ‘creative intervention’ should be grounded in an understanding of values, resources etc.
I perceive policy-makers may find it difficult to adopt the ‘back-to-basis’ approach, because the result, though possibly truly creative, may not appeal to the universal definition of ‘something creative’ (the misconception of novelty) – how do you explain that even though you have not re-invented the wheel, you have arrived at a ‘creative idea’ for policy
A great video
